Termite Treatment in Kenmore, Brisbane and Surrounding Areas

Protect Your Home from Termites

“Subterranean termites are generally ground dwelling, or require contact with the soil or a constant source of moisture to survive.”

Termite damage to Australian homes has been on the rise since 1995, when the highly toxic cyclodiene insecticides were withdrawn from use throughout Australia.

There are a number of underlying factors that will attract termites to your property apart from timber & moisture and that is – South-East Queensland’s Sub-Tropical Climate.

Our Sub-Tropical Climate provides the perfect environmental conditions conducive to possible Termite Infestation. Therefore being proactive and having your home or premises regularly inspected by a Qualified Pest Management Technician is the best course of action in protecting your most valuable asset.

Treatment to your property by one of McKenna Pest Control’s Tailored Termite Treatment Management Programs is the best way to protect your home or property.

Considering every property is different, a qualified technician will visit your premises, assess the situation, discuss treatment recommendations, and present a written termite treatment proposal.

Whether you have an Active Termite problem or would just like to protect your home from future infestation, McKenna Pest Control can Offer a variety of termite solutions.

Termidor HE

High-Efficiency Termiticide “The NEW Version of Termidor!”

Termidor HE is the NEW version of the most well renowned Termiticide on the market for over the last 15years – Termidor SC…

Termidor HE is manufactured by BASF and provides a new standard in protection against Subterranean Termites for one of your Greatest Assets – YOUR HOME…

With its Patented Advanced Polymer Technology (APT), Termidor HE is able to disperse more efficiently & effectively through the soil during treatment, allowing the need for fewer holes to be drilled around the exterior perimeter of your home or commercial premises.

Overall the impact on your property is reduced, as holes are able to be drilled up to 450mm centres – providing a more ascetically pleasing appearance throughout tiled areas. And when you have expensive tiles around your home, the last thing you want is hundreds of holes drilled through them.

Foaming & Dusting of Active Termites

Termidor Foam and Termidor Dust are Termiticides that can be applied in and around residential and commercial structures. Ideal for spot treatments in wall voids, cracks and crevices – both products are effective in helping to control Subterranean Termites.

Depending upon the degree of Activity, where it is located and the Species of Termites in question, each will determine whether a foaming solution or a dust will be applied.

The Active ingredient in both the Termidor Foam & Dust is Fipronil. Fipronil is an undetectable chemical which cannot be seen, smelled, tasted, or avoided. Instead Termites contact, ingest, and share the active ingredient with their nestmates leading to colony eradication.

Termidor is the most effective and fastest treatment at completely eliminating termite populations.

Chemical Termite Treatments / Barriers / Treatment Zones

Did you know that it’s well documented that 1 in every 3 homes located within Australia will be effected by Termites in their lifetime?

Apart from your regular Visual Termite Inspections that we recommend be carried out at least on an Annual basis and as recommended by the Queensland Building and Construction Commission – by having a Chemical Termite Treatment Program installed by one of McKenna Pest Control’s certified Termite Pest Management Technicians is the best way to protect your home or business from Termite Ingress.

Considering every property is different, a qualified technician would visit your premises to assess the situation, discuss Treatment recommendations and present a written Termite Treatment proposal for your consideration.

All chemicals including the Termiticides used throughout our pest and Termite management treatments are registered & approved by the Queensland health department. We do not use Generic Termiticides.

Termiticides we use are:

Termidor HE* (Fipronil) – BASF
Termidor SC* (Fipronil) – BASF
Biflex (Bifenthrin) – FMC

Applications of Termite Treatments / Barriers / Treatment Zones can vary from house to house and from one commercial property to another, as each building is unique…

Treatment may include – drilling holes through concrete paths, tiles, or pavers to inject Termiticide. If drilling is required, holes are placed approximately 300mm out from the edge of the building and are drilled at 150-200mm intervals according to the Australian Standards (AS-3660.2-2017). Please Note – Termidor HE allows for up to 450mm Centres – reducing the overall impact on the property and creating a more ascetically pleasing appearance to tiled areas. All holes are resealed once Termiticide has been injected.

Where there are soil areas abutting the structure or home, the Technician will trench to the footings and apply the Termiticide in layers and back fill to the original level around the exterior perimeter of the building. This helps ensure that a complete and continuous Termite Treatment Zone is installed, providing you with peace of mind knowing that your premises are fully protected from subterranean termites.

Upon completion of your Termite Treatment, we endeavour to ensure that your property is left as clean and neat as possible.

In most cases a 60 months free service period is offered in conjunction with a full and complete termite management program, unless our technician feels that it is not an available option due to the building’s construction or according to the treatment plan.

Reticulation

The TermX Replenishment System is a pipe system that has been designed, as I like to phrase it: “By Australians, for Australians”

Its unique design has been made specifically to suit Australia’s Harsh Environment & the pressure that Termites put on both our Residential and Commercial Properties in our Subtropical Climate…

Having undergone extensive and stringent testing, the Replenishment System / pipe system is regarded as a Physical Barrier that can be installed around an existing structure or underneath a future structure (prior to the concrete slab being poured)…

Termiticide is then pumped through this pipe system to form a continuous barrier and will require recharging at regular intervals depending upon the chemical applied and the degree of termite ingress in the properties geographical location…

The Termx Replenishment System is a great option if you’re planning on adding a concrete path or pavers alongside the side of your home, as the pipe System can be installed prior and pumped with Termiticide without jeopardizing the appearance of your concrete path or beautiful new pavers or tiles in the future…

So whether you’re Building, Renovating or just re-landscaping the perimeter of your home, The Termx Replenishment System is a McKenna Pest Control preferred product and one option definitely worth considering.

Baiting Systems

The Nemesis Termite Bait System is a fully Australian owned and manufactured termite detection device used to monitor and eliminate colonies on your premises.

Providing both a safe and non-invasive solution, the Nemesis System can be monitored by the homeowner or by one of our qualified technicians. McKenna Pest Control will monitor your bait system every 8 to 12 weeks for a Period of 12Months and if termite activity is detected, monitoring will occur more frequently until the colony is completely eliminated.

If you choose to self-monitor and find active termites, please notify McKenna Pest Control to have a technician return to bait the active station.

The Nemesis Termite Baiting System can be used independently or as a part of a combined approach with one of our Chemical Termite Treatments.

Exterra Termite Interception and Baiting System

The Exterra Termite Interception & Baiting System is a unique and patented design that has been installed in various well-known locations worldwide and can also be installed around your home or commercial premises.

Exterra Bait Stations are larger than most Termite Bait Stations available on the market and are installed around the exterior perimeter of the building to create a full and complete Termite Interception Zone. This Interception Zone allows Termites to be intercepted through the use of its patented Termite Attractant – Focus, well before they hit your home or building premises.

Once your Exterra System has been installed, these bait stations are then monitored at regular intervals (approx. every 6 – 12 weeks) by one of our Qualified Pest Management Technicians.

If during this monitoring process, Termite Activity is detected, Termite Bait – known as “Requiem” is placed inside the respective Exterra Station/s and the lid is then replaced. The active Termites will then feed on the Requiem applied and take it back to their nest in order to eliminate the colony. Active Stations will then be monitored more frequently – approx. every 3 – 6 weeks until colony elimination has occurred…

Part of the Exterra Interception and Baiting System installation process, is a Visual Termite Inspection, which will be carried out by one of our Qualified Technicians, either on the same day of the installation or on a day prior to install. Then you just sit back, relax and let us take care of your Exterra Baiting system…

The Exterra System is not only safe for the environment, but it is also safe for both you and your family… Now that’s a good enough reason for me to choose the Exterra Termite Interception & Baiting System” for my home.
